Tom Blackshear has a long history building some of the very finest guitars available today. He built his first in 1958 and this beautiful Indian Rosewood and Cedar Concert in 1999. This guitar has the big, powerful and articulate voice he is known for. It has the kind of clarity and projection that pro players seek and the beauty of tone we all desire. It has abundant dynamic range and lovely colors can be extracted allowing for great emotion. A wonderful instrument from Tom Blackshear.

Player Reviews:
"Simply extraordinary. I've played few guitars with the projection of this one, yet it is multi-dimensional and has the ability to be sweet and delicate as well. This is certainly a professional level instrument as it is truly a guitar of the highest quality in terms of tone, color and construction." - Paul Heumiller
